Op-Ed: Joe Biden: No one can stay silent. No one can ignore justice

Today, the pain is so raw it can be hard to keep faith that justice is at hand or that we will ever achieve the more perfect union we all want. But ours is a union worth fighting for, and we are all called to the cause. We must become a nation where all men and women are not only created equal, but treated equally. We need to become the nation defined — in Dr. King’s words — not only by the absence of tension, but by the presence of justice.

American history isn’t a fairy tale with a guaranteed happy ending. The battle for the soul of this nation has been a constant push-and-pull for more than 240 years. But, we cannot make progress without leadership in the Oval Office. Donald Trump has turned our country into a battlefield. He thinks division helps him, and his narcissism has become more important than the well-being of the nation he leads.

No president gets everything right. But the country needs a leader who doesn’t traffic in fear and division, a leader who, rather than fanning the flames of hate, will seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued this country. The presidency is about the American people.

I truly believe that we can overcome. And that when we stand together, finally, as one America, will we rise stronger than before.

Kneel to your masters Joe. Stick your tail between your legs and run like a miserable dog. Join the rioters, looters, and arsonists if you want, but don’t expect everyone to join in your effort to destroy the country.

All people are equally entitled...

...to get off their asses and make something of themselves.

And that when we stand together, finally, as one America, will we rise stronger than before

Joe/Dumbass, you just called 50 million Americans “not very good people”.
